Hi, David. You have a strong foundation of stats in your GMAT and GPA. My only concerns are your age (while you are still in the right range for most programs, HBS is going to be less interested) and your short-term goal doesn't sound ambitious enough for the programs you have identified. The long-term goal/dream of fixing China also needs to be much more refined before you can share it in your application: it is ambitious and positive, but you need to be able to explain the "how" of that dream. _________________
